Hi Readers!
I apologize for not keeping up with the blog. From this point forward, the site will be on hold indefinitely. Hope to serve you again.

My Take

For awhile the economy was looking much better. Now, who knows? The more and more educated I become on economics, policy, government, and everything that goes with it, I realize that we are very blessed to live in a great nation. Sure, things are not the way we would like them to be, economically speaking. But as Charles Wheelan made clear in his book “Naked Economics” (a great read, by the way) we are very fortunate to have a government that can be questioned by its people, among other things. In other words, give thanks. Instead of complaining about the problem of government or the diminished economy, be a part of the solution. Act! We are so fortunate to have this opportunity.

Back in Commission

Welcome Back! Or maybe that is what you should be saying to me!

I apologize for the lay-off, but the past few months have been hectic with finals, graduation, job search, graduate school applications, etc.

But things are slowing down now and I hope to have an update once a week for the summer.

Hope this finds you well.

Educate Yourself

While good financial advice may be difficult to come by, there are free options on the world wide web. One in particular is called Investopedia. One of the best ways to protect yourself in a difficult economic environment is to take advantage of this available information. Not only that, but there are also some humorous definitions and articles covering little-known financial oddities that make finance a bit less intimidating. Enjoy!

Economic Stimulus

Recently the US Economic Stimulus was signed into law, amid some controversy. It seemed that just a few weeks ago, there was much anticipation about said bill. On one hand, it has the capability to stimulate the economy (hence the name), and on the other hand it may increase our national debt, leaving Gen Y and beyond to deal with it. There never seems to be a consensus about such issues, which I presume is exactly what makes America, America. I will always do my best to be objective, and I encourage my readers to have an open mind when reading this blog.

Welcome!

Welcome to my first blog! I’m just getting used to this new idea of blogging. I never thought I’d do it, but it seems to have caught on. Maybe it will lead to a career, or maybe just a hobby. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it.
